Shooting Right Whales In the Face

There are not words bad enough to describe the war criminals. Deliberately preventing civilized people from saving an endangered and wonderful species is Darth's latest caged animal hunt.

Efforts to protect the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale from being killed by ships are being blocked by Vice President Dick Cheney according to leaked documents.

A behind the scenes struggle is raging between the White House and US government scientists who want to force ships to slow down near the calving grounds of the almost extinct right whale.

To reduce ship strikes the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) decided that ships should restrict their speed to 10 knots or less near whale feeding and calving grounds during parts of the year.

But Mr Cheney's office, which tends to operate in secrecy, sent letters repeatedly questioning whether the rule was needed according to leaked documents. Flatly contradicting the scientific research Mr Cheney's staff argued, "that we have no evidence that lowering the speeds of 'large ships' will actually make a difference."

The denial of science seems like a personal commitment to the worst administration ever. Killing also appears something they enjoy. That Save the Whales theme just makes them mad.

Darth gives new depth to the word 'subhuman'.
